What if a black person tells a racist joke about blacks? (Yea, it happens all the time) Let me guess, he's a self hating bigot, right? Whatever deliberately manufactured outrages it takes to maintain that narrative you so desperately want to push, I guess...

He thinks victimless crimes are still crimes, apparently. While it'd make me feel uncomfortable, if everyone in earshot is on board I don't think that there is necessarily any harm being done. Sure rape is bad and not a funny topic to most, especially rape victims, neither are murder jokes...

There's no problem, I'm all for female only (and male only) tables. Don't you think that if we treated men and women the same that the opportunities and experiences (to any reasonable extent) would be the same?

*sigh* I never said that it'd make "all problems" go away. It's probably inline with the regular population figures where, obviously, female gamers would be a significant majority of the victims. You need to remember that I never said that there wasn't. I even went so far as to say, several...

As a general rule, much of the language repeated from a multiplayer game isn't appropriate in any face to face encounters. It's not even appropriate in the game that it was said in. This is coming from a seasoned League of Legends player. Sadly a sizable portion of our fanbase is quite toxic.

While I'm not saying that I'd be for your removal from the event entirely, surely a strict warning and pulling you from that specific table wouldn't be over reacting. That's some pretty dark humor... I'd keep that hand to my chest unless you know every single person you're around intimately.

In Helton's defense he literally did just disagree with someone (mechapilot) and I don't think he thinks that they're evil.

True, but lets say some girls wanted to join and the guys wanted the table to remain all dudes? Sure, there are still "other all dude tables", so what's 1 less one, right? But to those who are part of that specific table, what good do those "other all dude tables" do for them who are now not...

I guess I should have said since I've been posting here, which started around page 13 I think. My mistake.

Oh thank god the internet professional with decades of experience and mind reading abilities is here to explain to us what everyone is thinking by reading pixles on a computer screen. After reading that, what was your initial response? Being defensive? That's what you're doing. Not everyone...

I'm surprised that you think Christopher Helton has done this. Outside of starting this article I can't recall a single productive post he's made. All I've seen are sarcastic and dismissive comments.

Please point me to the person who wants to say "whatever" they want, or quote some of these "crass" quotes that they're demanding that they have a right to be said. Also consider the context. I don't think anyone is advocating that the language present at an adult table also be pushed upon a...

I do think to some extent some of that article is manufactured, and I have no respect for the title or the focus on gender or race. Sure the trigger warnings, suggestions that the only acceptable action is for the guys to sit down, listen, and ask how we can help, and talk of safe spaces...

Maybe I'm imagining things, but I think this thread has turned in the right direction in the past 5-10 pages. I do think we're finding more common ground than areas we disagree.

Lets not pretend that it was a very graphic joke/discussion. If the only comparison was a dongle to a penis, its a bit like someone making an off hand quib about "that's what she said" or something similar. Granted, not the most appropriate comment to make at all occasions, but lets not get so...

Unfortunately you can't, you'll never convince 100% of any community that's this large. This is going to sound incredibly sappy and lame but just do your best. Ask others to help you. Perhaps you missed it but I've stated that I'm going to be trying to encourage people to speak out and report...

I said this a while ago (Post #378). The misquote wasn't intentional I simply misread and I don't appreciate the condemning tone. I didn't do the exact same thing as that one jerk, I have no issue with all women tables at all. I simply misread something you typed, that doesn't make me a bad...

My mistake, I was wrong. I thought I had read that the silent people were still against it but remained silent. Thanks for the correction. Still, though, that doesn't affect my hypothetical question as it's hypothetical and not a reflection of an actual event.

Yes, with the goal of resolving these claims being a successful convention. Which brought me to that question dealing with whether or not a convention was successful or not. 60% of the people at a convention do not want to allow a woman only table top session, 30% didn't care either way, and...

You told me the reason behind the attempts at resolution was to have a successful convention. What if 60% of the people at a convention do not want to allow a woman only table top session, 30% didn't care either way, and 10% wanted to allow it, and the 60% got their way (preventing women only...
